For a recap of how our surprise trip to San Fran came to be, click here.
After a glorious 12 hours of sleep, day two started at Sweet Maple. I am not being dramatic when I say that Brandon's breakfast sandwich below was the best breakfast sandwich I have ever tasted. Even he agreed and he is a food snob. Sweet Maple is famous for their millionaire's bacon, so we had to partake (bacon you see on the sandwich). It was unbelievable, a bit sweet with a hint of heat, slow cooked for hours with brown sugar and spicy peppers. #amazing
After stuffing ourselves with the world's best bacon, we headed by foot to take a look at Cottage Row and The Painted Ladies (you will likely remember from the show Full House).
Cottage Row is well, a row of quaint cottages that used to fill San Fran in the mid-1800's.
From The Painted Ladies, we headed to the Ferry Building Marketplace (huge indoor/outdoor farmer's market with eateries and shopping etc), Bay Bridge, Alcatraz (to view from afar, tours were sold out until September), Pier 33/39, and Fisherman's Wharf.
Next up? The Golden Gate Bridge. We walked the entire bridge and back and despite it being extremely chilly and windy, it was a fun experience! Well, at least for me. Brandon was hoping to catch an Uber on the way back (ha-ha-ha, does he not know his wife??).
We were sore and stinky after a full day of walking so we headed to the hotel to clean up and relax for a bit before dinner. Pack Up + Go had reservations and a gift card for us at Barbacco that evening. Delicious Italian dishes in a super cozy, trendy setting. We kept looking around saying , "I don't feel cool enough to eat here." Ha! Highly recommend it if you're in the area!
Didn't snap a picture of the main entrees, only of dessert.
(Happy anniversary since this is the big trip we never took celebrate year 10, or 11).
Day 3 & 4 coming up next . . .
Such a fun idea- we will definitely have to try this some time! I feel like I'd have trouble refraining from reading too much into clues on the packing list- was it pretty vague? Maybe I'd have to give it to Brian and tell him to filter it for me... ha, now that would be an exercise in trust ;)
